CZAR'S SCOOP: The word in New Orleans is that owner Tom Benson is going through personnel moves made in the last four years to discover who is responsible for what decision. Benson is looking for accountability. The early indications are that GM Mickey Loomis may be safe from the Benson purge. Loomis, though, isn't considered a personnel man like most general managers.

Well, well, well.
Loomis already put the entire coaching staff and team under the bus in the press before the bye this season. I'm not sure why Benson would want to keep the guy.

But maybe this does mean that Benson wants to see exactly where the problem lies? It really looks like he wants to be surgical in who hits the road. I'd find it unlikely, but possible that Benson is looking for a scapegoat and not have to buy out Haslett's contract.

At this point, it might be a good idea to bring Rita in on the decision making process, sort of hand over the reins to her on how to transition a football team?

At any rate, he seems determined to fix what ails this team.
